Where do you find .45, .50's? Online? My local airsoft stores never carries them?
The VSR-10's are notorious for screws stripping. For me, mostly the head screws. Tried four different Philips sizes to try to get the perfect fit. Can't get the outer barrel screw in all the way without risking stripping it more. Some people have stripped the AA hop up screw that goes into the inner barrel.
My friends a wood builder says he hates Philipps screws and uses only Robertson square heads or Allen heads. I was thinking of finding matching sizes and lengths and replacing everything on my VSR-10 with Allen heads.

To be fair, I last used them in the UK. The 0.5's I had to import from Czceh Republic, made by BLS.
There are plenty of options available in the .40+ range.
The tech is suggesting you weight the piston. That can also have an unwanted effect to joule creep (the Ares Amoeba crew did this to the Striker a lot due to the tiny cylinder they have) I'd still go with cutting the spring a tad.
Eh, I've has screws strip all over. You gotta make sure you're using the right screw driver. I an a mechanic so I have a lot to play with! Poor quality Allen heads are easily the 2nd worst!! Haha.
